2010 ELEMENTARY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

$50 will sponsor a child's education costs for an entire year!

This has been a very difficult Winter in Mongolia. The temperatures have been sustained at -30 below zero, following a very dry summer. These conditions, called a zuud in Mongolia, are devestating for livestock. (For more on this, read the BBC article posted here.) While herders would traditionally be able to sell some livestock to buy textbooks or school supplies for their children, for many this year it will be a struggle to simply feed their families. Education becomes a luxury in conditions like this.

We are seeking sponsors willing to support a child through elementary and secondary school. We will translate letters between child and sponsor and promote cultural exchange between the two.

2010 MOBILE TEACHER PROJECT

Many nomadic children have difficulty attending a large government boarding school, hindered either by the distance from family, financial or other concerns. We are funding a mobile teacher in 2010 - bringing educational opportunity to nomadic families while allowing them to maintain their traditions.

We are actively raising money for this project, through donations and fundraising projects. $2,000 is the amount needed to hire a teacher in a rural area. If you would like to contribute to this project, click the button below.

2010 RURAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROJECT

We are offering several scholarships for promising rural secondary school students who would like to become teachers in their home district. $500 is the amount needed for room/board and tuition for one year. If you would like to sponsor a teaching student, for all or part of this amount, click the button below.

 

2009 ERDENET SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

In 2009 we offered sponsored scholarships here for first-grade-aged children who would have difficulty starting school without assistance. This first group of students has had a great year, and we look forward to all their successes in the future!
